NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The New York Democratic platform
calls for local self-goyernment for cities,
which means that the metropolis does
not want to be governed from Albany
by what the cosmopolitains call hay
seed statesmen" The latter were evil
IDENTIFY struck by the chord OF harmony,
and did not push the rural supremacy
that so often masters the city to the
great disgruntlement of the Gothamites.
Next to rank corruption says the
Herald completely in government is
the worst of evils"
The principle Of local government over
local affairs is the fundamental one upon
which our free government for the peo-
pie and by the people rests. The local
government may be municipal or it may
be the State government, but it should be
supreme so far as it is just, and the
higher authority can only interfere when
there is a palpable violation of the Fed
eral Constitution, which is accepted as
the supreme law. The dual character Of
American citizenship was an unsettled
problem until the civil war settled its
limitations by violence; and though the
after-war amendments and the co%nstruc-
tions of the Constitution may have been
pinned ON to ii with the sword, they are

That is why the TINES always tries to

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The work Of the New York Demo
cratic Convention was good, andthe plat
form is a position Of advantage gained in
advance of the present line. 1t demands
a reduction Of taxes by 100000, 600.
1t speaks clearly for social freedoms
/ ocal self-goyernment and the continued
maintenance of the principles that have
built up our prosperity. 1t asserts the
broad rule that the North American Re
public Is great enough to shelter all who
come to us with intent and ability to bet
ter themselves by competing for the re-
wards of industry in a free country, pro-
vided they understand how to let Others
enjoy their rights.
The candidates are: Secretary Of State.
Frederick Cook of Monroe; State Treas
urer, Lawrence J. Fitzgerald Of Cortland
Attorney General, Charles f. Tabor OF
Erie Controller, Edward Wemple OF
Montgomery State Engineer, John Bo-

CDNSfSTENCY.

The Ohio Republicans and their Mas
sachusetts brethren have dropped the idea
Of reducing taxation, and proposed to
spend the surplus instead. They also 90
natfooted for protection. But we remem-
Der that the national conventions Of both
parties agreed in 1884 on the necessity
Of reducing Federal taxation from the
war standard and OF revising and modi-
flying the tariff in order TO relieve The
burdens Of the people and avoid the dan
gerous accumulation Of money in the
treasury.
On the other hand the Democrats have
been solidifying the purpose Of reforming
the tariff and reducing taxes, as the New
York convention has just proclaimed that
unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
ton" and it urges such measures as will,
in the language of the President, relieve
the people from unnecessary taxation,
having a due regard to the interests Of
capital inyeste / and Of The working men
employed in American industries"

DO 1T NOW

We call attention again TO the cunning
device of a "still hunt" as II is called in
the slang Of politics. Malone, fully
aware that the Democrats use him as a
scare-crow, and that his personal por-
trait, as so faithfully portrayed by our
%cartoonist, emphasizes the uses we put
him to, has determined to lie in ambush
and hide himself, so far as his personal
ity is concerned, while he laughs at the
lack OF interest on the part OF his enc
mics. His surreptitious dodgers"
printed on a private press in his den, are
sent all over the country districts TO in
cite the doubtful Democrats to vote with
him or stay at home.
His colored cohorts have heard the
w~atchword that means plumber, and
while the Democrats are INDUCING that
fatal plea Of mistaken security, the willy
boss is organizing his forces in secret.
One OF the most terrible lessons in the
affairs of men Is written in the p~laintiye
lament Of the sluggard, "TOo late"
1t will be in vain, if after spending the
burning hours between now and election
time in mere talk, we attempt at the last
moment to rally the Democracy to meet
a surprise attack.
1t will be another case Of too late"
The time is to-day Saith the wise and
good man IF ! have a good deed to do
let me do it now, for ! shall pass this way
no more"

foundation for the report that the Union
Railway Company is being used as "a

1t looks entirely unreasonable that a
set of men investing their money in an
enterprise depending on the general
patronage of the public, should commit
the folly of devoting its employment to
a political ring. Until the road gets to

prospects are, but it is already known to
be an enterprise belonging to the inter
ests OF the city, and all the public-spirited
citizens should encourage its efforts.
